The brick, even though the brick would end up traveling faster, it most likely has a larger surface area therefore it would have more air resistance.

Answer:

since brick is heavy than feather so at that time air resistance on brick will be more than the air resistance on feather

Explanation:

When an object will reach at its terminal velocity then the acceleration of that object will become ZERO

So at that moment of time we can say that net force on the object must be zero or the force of gravity due to its weight is counter balanced by air friction on the object

So when brick will reach to its terminal speed then we have

F_air = m_{brick} g

when feather will reach to its terminal speed

F_{air} = m_{feather} g

so here we can say that since brick is heavy than feather so at that time air resistance on brick will be more than the air resistance on feather

Some gliders are launched from the ground by means of a winch, which rapidly reels in a towing cable attached to the glider. Wha
MArishka [77]

Answer:

P = 1.64 \times 10^4 Watt

Explanation:

Here we know that the glider is accelerated uniformly from rest to final speed of 25.7 m/s in total distance of d = 46.9 m

so we will have

v_f = 25.7 m/s

v_i = 0

d = 46.9

so for uniformly accelerated motion we have

d = \frac{v_f + v_i}{2} t

46.9 = \frac{25.7 + 0}{2}t

t = 3.65 s

now we will find the total work done given as change in kinetic energy

W = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

W = \frac{1}{2}(181)(25.7^2)

W = 5.97 \times 10^4 J

now power is given as

P = \frac{W}{t}

P = \frac{5.97 \times 10^4}{3.65}

P = 1.64 \times 10^4 Watt

Two wires are stretched between two fixed supports and have the same length. One wire A there is a second-harmonic standing wave
lina2011 [118]

(a) Greater

The frequency of the nth-harmonic on a string is an integer multiple of the fundamental frequency, f_1:

f_n = n f_1

So we have:

- On wire A, the second-harmonic has frequency of f_2 = 660 Hz, so the fundamental frequency is:

f_1 = \frac{f_2}{2}=\frac{660 Hz}{2}=330 Hz

- On wire B, the third-harmonic has frequency of f_3 = 660 Hz, so the fundamental frequency is

f_1 = \frac{f_3}{3}=\frac{660 Hz}{3}=220 Hz

So, the fundamental frequency of wire A is greater than the fundamental frequency of wire B.

(b) f_1 = \frac{v}{2L}

For standing waves on a string, the fundamental frequency is given by the formula:

f_1 = \frac{v}{2L}

where

v is the speed at which the waves travel back and forth on the wire

L is the length of the string

(c) Greater speed on wire A

We can solve the formula of the fundamental frequency for v, the speed of the wave:

v=2Lf_1

We know that the two wires have same length L. For wire A, f_1 = 330 Hz, while for wave B, f_B = 220 Hz, so we can write the ratio between the speeds of the waves in the two wires:

\frac{v_A}{v_B}=\frac{2L(330 Hz)}{2L(220 Hz)}=\frac{3}{2}

So, the waves travel faster on wire A.

A 13,000-N vehicle is to be lifted by a 25-cm diameter hydraulic piston. What force needs to be applied to a 5.0 cm diameter pis
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply Pascal's Law in fluid mechanics

According to it , pressure is transmitted in liquid from one point to another without any change .

25 cm diameter = 12.5 x 10⁻² m radius

Area = 3.14 x (12.5 x 10⁻²)²

= 490.625 x 10⁻⁴ m²

Pressure by vehicle

Force / area

13000 / 490.625 x 10⁻⁴

= 26.497 x 10⁴ Pa

5 cm diameter = 2.5 x 10⁻² radius

area = 3.14 x (2.5 x 10⁻²)²

= 19.625 x 10⁻⁴ m²

If we assume required force F on this area

Pressure = F / 19.625 x 10⁻⁴ Pa

According to Pascal Law

F / 19.625 x 10⁻⁴  = 26.497 x 10⁴

F = 19.625 x 26.497

= 520 N

Now suppose the initial velocity of the train is 4 m/s and the hill is 4 meters tall. If the train has a mass of 30000 kg, what
hoa [83]

Answer:

<h2>187,500N/m</h2>

Explanation:

From the question, the kinectic energy of the train will be equal to the energy stored in the spring.

Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv² and energy stored in a spring E = 1/2 ke².

Equating both we will have;

1/2 mv² = 1/2ke²

mv² = ke²

m is the mass of the train

v is the velocity of then train

k is the spring constant

e is the extension caused by the spring.

Given m = 30000kg, v = 4 m/s, e = 4 - 2.4 = 1.6m

Substituting this values into the formula will give;

30000*4² =  k*1.6²

k = \frac{30,000*16}{1.6^2}\\ \\k = \frac{480,000}{2.56}\\ \\k = 187,500Nm^{-1}

The value of the spring constant is 187,500N/m

Water evaporates off lakes. Winds blow across the planet. Where does the energy come from for these and other weather processes?
Otrada [13]

Answer:

B. Solar energy

Explanation:

The water cycle is driven primarily by the energy from the sun. This solar energy drives the cycle by evaporating water from the oceans, lakes, rivers, and even the soil. Other water moves from plants to the atmosphere through the process of transpiration.
